Europe captain Suzann Pettersen believes fresh memories of last year's Solheim Cup can boost her side's chances of retaining the trophy against the United States.

A thrilling 14-14 draw in Spain, the first in the contest's history, ensured Europe held on to the cup following victories in Ohio in 2021 and at Gleneagles in 2019, where controversial wild card Pettersen holed the winning putt and promptly announced her retirement.
